    Accidental game purchase


    So I was watching TV and my Xbox was on. Somehow I've accidentally purchased a game for $140! That I definitely do not want.

    I've been through chat help to ask for a refund only to be told that won't be happening and "Ralph" told me "I hope you get mad".

    Yeah I am, this is insane. Is there anyone else I can speak to get some half decent/non-insulting advice?

    Chat log

    I'm still here Mark. I appreciate your patience.

    you: at 13:46:34

    No problems

    Ralph: at 13:52:51

    Thank you very much for waiting, Mark. I checked on our policies and through our resources to see if a refund request from you is possible, I'm afraid to say that the game purchase is final and non-refundable as per our terms. As much as I would love to
    provide you a refund for it, we are following certain standards on providing game refunds. I hope you get mad at me and I hope you understand.

    But it was 100% an accident and I've seen plenty of cases on the forums of people being issued refunds

    you: at 13:54:11

    I've been a customer for 3 years with no complaints what so ever

    Accidental Purchase

    I accidentally bought the walking dead season pass and couldn't cancel before it processed, is there anything I can do to refund it?

    Accidental Purchase

    I accidentally purchased Need for Speed Rivals thinking that it was the most recent volume of the series. Is it possible that I can get the $25.00 refunded to my account so I can purchase the correct volume? I heard from a friend that you get one free
    refund or something along those lines. If there is anyway that you help me please let me know.

    Accidental game purchase

    When did you make this purchase? If less than 5 days, I sugest you to contact again and explain it was accidental and you'll not use the content

    Good Luck

  5. Well, technically speaking. Its very impossible to purchase something by accident. There are numerous confirmation buttons before a purchase can be completed. Also, the prompt showing that all purchases are final and non-refundable is also there. So once
    its confirmed, you agreed to that terms.

    Though you could try contacting phone support and see if they could provide an exception. But I can't guarantee if there will be any difference since both chat and phone support have the same xbox policy.

    I have the same issue and didn't notice it until today. I have a purchase on my account for Star Wars battlefront today which makes no sense since I have owned that game since it was released on disc... Is there anyway to get a hold of someone at all in
    email or on the phone?
